You're killing me Dan'l.  It's not that they grow up to be animals, its that they hybridize with a genetic template to survive and pass on the conjoined genetic material, something which IS seen in the mating of inhumi: for a sentient child to be born, the mother must have fed on a human (maybe an animal would do, but it wouldn't be an "intelligent" inhumi)  They are a tabla rasa of possibilities that conjoin with other, more potent blood.  vegetable become animal through transubstantiation, the meaning of the eucharist: grapes become blood, but not JUST any blood.  There is a eucharist scene, remember.  vegetable becomes animal in that transubstantiation.  Why is this so hard to see?
